Details of Defense Department Legislative Proposals Released

Feb.06.2015 — BNA

Washington, D.C.-based Government Contracts Group co-chair, Angela B. Styles, speaks to BNA about the Department of Defense (DOD) releasing details of several legislative proposals it will make to Congress for inclusion in the fiscal year National Defense Authorization Act. The proposals, also known as the Legislative Initiative, are part of the Better Buying Power program to improve acquisition. "If you are an acquisition reform advocate, you are thinking of reform of regulations for companies," said Styles, "That is not what you are seeing here." Styles also notes that if the proposals make it into law, they will likely help the DOD save resources.
